Conspectus Controlling the physical and chemical properties of surfaces and interfaces is of
fundamental relevance in various areas of physical chemistry and a key issue of modern …

This article reviews the application of near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS)
spectroscopy to characterization of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) which are an …

Liquid‐phase, quasi‐epitaxial growth is used to stack asymmetric, dipolar organic
compounds on inorganic substrates, permitting porous, crystalline molecular materials that …

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are frequently used for work function (WF) engineering
of different materials. For this, typically dipolar groups are attached to the molecule terminus …

Single-molecule quantum transport calculations are performed using nonequilibrium
Green's functional formalism for biphenyl and phenyl-pyridine molecules asymmetrically …

Collective electrostatic effects arise from the superposition of electrostatic potentials of
periodically arranged (di) polar entities and are known to crucially impact the electronic …

Inspired by a natural nano-mineral known as imogolite, aluminosilicate inorganic nanotubes
are appealing systems for photocatalysis. Here, we studied two types of synthetic imogolites …

Using density functional theory in combination with Green's functional formalism we study
the quantum transport through molecular junctions containing pyrimidine units characterized …

We present the prototype of a ferroelectric tunnel junction (FTJ), which is based on a self-
assembled monolayer (SAM) of small, functional molecules. These molecules have a …

Self-assembled monolayers composed of various long-chain aliphatic molecules and
different tail functional groups have been synthesized on the Au (111) surface and …
